learned from careful inquiry the blockade is practically
complete The road west Of Winnipeg has been blocked
for twenty days and especially in the Selkrk and
west Of Calgary The sheds there have failed to
afford protection in consequence OF heavy land slides
which have demolished them In several places The
portion Of the road running through the Fraser
River valley is blocked by snow and rocky
land-slides For time the Fraser
River has been frozen up at the mouth SO that
vessels could reach Vancouver Island To add 10 the
difficulties OF the company the supply OF coal ut many
points has been exhausted and the blockade prevents
stocks from being rcplenished 1t Is reported that large

AGAINST THE COUNTY BOARD.
CHICAGO, FEB. II lSpecial.-It is definitely under
stood that Judge Anthony will issue the order for the
special Grand Jury that is to inquire into the cases OF
corrupt members of the Courty Board and their
satellites within few days. The early date is due 10
the circumstance that within the past forty-eight
hours the investigation begun against the booders
many weeks dgo has been greatly facilitated. A
more nerveless lot it would be hard to get together
than the that has been proving upon the county
treasury for years At the first ntmatiOn that Mic.

fessed, overtures made fer settlement by men
who undoubtedly, 1t thought were guilty OF ir-

rated in certain quarters an instance OF how badly
dvmoralized OF the boOders.' Frank

in their desperation sought to raid last night to secure
certain terminating papers, speaking OF the matter to-
day. said Now that the thing is out will cay to
you that the papers McKeough and his gang wanted
were taken from SchEeder's place We've been woik-
ing that thing tor two months and we've got stuff
enough against that gang in the County Board to send
them to the penitentiary tor years"
IL is pretty well established that the number OF
County Commissioners. exc commissioners and employees
of the County Board who will be criminally held on
the evidence in the hands of the States Attorney
is thirteen. This does not include Schneider any OF
the others who have 4" squcaled."
